How do you put together a media kit and your rates? I would like to do this, but I'm not sure where to start.

Being a Mom with a store, I agree with the 'be honest' approaches shared below. It isn't in my best interest to spend the time and money to have you do a review of something that won't connect with your readers. Or, if there was something about my product, website, etc that needed improving, I would want to know.

I do what Maternal Spark does.<br />
If it's something I really like and they are sending me a sample, I do it for free.<br />
If it's more of a press release, I send them my media kit and rates.<br />
If it's something that really doesn't fit, I send them my alternate media kit. There is only one advertising option, a link way at the bottom of the my and a nice size charge for it.<br />
If it's something that I don't agree with or endorse, like payday loan companies, I simply ignore it.

Just say, "I don't believe this fits with the direction I am going right now. Thank you for considering me." Or something like that. You could also give them a time to try you back, a few months, a year, whatever.

Most of the pitches I receive aren't even worth replying to. They just seem to be trying to get the word about their product or website. I only do book reviews, so I always reply to those. I don't do product reviews and I have a standard cut and paste message that I reply with saying that it isn't my policy to do them. I refer them to another product review site that I am friends with.<br />
<br />
I have found a few people reply when I turn them down and try to debate me. Now that is annoying.<br />

I have also replied and told them that they are welcome to buy an ad space if they want to promote their product/website on my blog. I haven't actually received any advertisers this way yet, but it might work. I know that they are just looking for free publicity.

I use this approach especially if the pitch is from a bigger PR agency or someone I already have a relationship with. Just keep it professional and be pleasant.<br />
<br />
However, if the pitch is really awful, I don't bother responding. Not sure I'd want a relationship with someone who did such shoddy work.

Be polite and professional and let them know that the service offered isn't currently inline with your reader base but you'd like to do business with them in the future when they have products that do interest your base.

Just tell them that you don't feel their product or service fits your needs at this current time and thank them for their interest in advertising on your blog. Plain and simple. Its not rude to decline just tell them that in the future if they a product they'd like to offer to shoot you an email again.
